Our weekly fees start from £1,250, with the exact amount depending on the size and position of the room, as well as the level of care and support each person needs. This allows us to make sure every resident receives the right balance of comfort, attention, and personalised care.
The fee includes round-the-clock support from our experienced care team, with help tailored to each individual’s needs, including personal care such as washing, dressing, mobility, and continence support. We also take care of all medication management, giving families peace of mind that everything is overseen safely and consistently.
All meals and refreshments are included, with home-cooked food prepared on site and adapted to personal preferences and dietary requirements. Laundry and housekeeping are taken care of, and all utilities such as heating, lighting, and water are covered, so there are no day-to-day worries.
Each resident has a fully furnished room, which they are very welcome to personalise to make it feel like home. There is also access to comfortable communal areas and gardens, along with a programme of daily activities to support wellbeing, social interaction, and enjoyment.
We also work closely with healthcare professionals such as GPs and district nurses, ensuring continuity of care and prompt support when needed.
Some additional services, such as one-to-one care, hairdressing, or specialist external services, can be arranged where required.
We are always happy to talk through individual needs and provide a clear, tailored fee following an assessment, so families feel confident and fully informed from the outset.

Having had no experience of care homes, I was a little apprehensive when my friend had to be admitted to this care home. I needn't have worried. From day one, they have been professional, caring and it is more like she is in her own home. The staff are patient, have empathy and treat residents with respect. Nothing is too much trouble, she also likes being here which says it all.

Management - accessible, helpful and willing to look into any problems asked.
Maintenance and repairs are regularly attended to. Regular checks on the residents both day and night. Activities are on weekday afternoons; quizzes, games, crafts and knitting etc.
Food and drink - good drinks always available with the tendency for large portions. Regular access to the doctor, dentist, optician and chiropodist.
Comfortable room - clean and tidy. Free to participate in the village activities outside the home. Free to be private in own room or mix in the lounge. I am happy here and feel at home.
I think it is a very nice place, well run, quiet and reserved also. Staff are very efficient, food is of a good standard.

The Old Vicarage Residential Home is a home from home, comfortable, relaxing and not in the least bit clinical, with staff who are caring and kind. They encourage autonomy and independence whilst providing support where needed and everyone is treated as an individual. Everyone at the care home works as part of an extended family and always makes visitors welcome. This is a happy place with lots of laughter and a place where residents are able to spend their final days in familiar surroundings supported by staff they know who care deeply about them. I visit this home four times a week and would highly recommend it.

Neither my mother or myself ever thought this part of life could be so pleasant, surrounded as we are with such respectful and thoughtful people.

This home has looked after my mother so well. The staff and the management are always helpful and very caring. I know my mum is cared for and looked after in a loving environment. It is a great relief to me knowing this and I can always chat to the staff and now the new manager and know they will listen and reassure me about my mum and her care. Thank you. It is a lovely place.
The Old Vicarage looked after her very well during her 3 week stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the grounds and location were lovely.

The home is a friendly, open, caring place. It feels more like a private guest house in that it is completely "non institutional" The care is discreet but all encompassing. My mother has advanced dementia but the approach is to allow her to be as independent as possible but with absolute vigilance re her well being. We are allowed free access whenever we want to visit. It really is as close to a home from home as one could wish for.
